here is mr rogers with another of the tactics of sola scriptura, taking a well known, and historically known explaination, and using the powers of reinterpretation, as sola scriptura allows, makes it say something that can fit his particular view, in complete opposition to the historical church of even the first few centuries.
I’ve studied both history AND capital letters...
If you have a problem with what I posted, try a reply rather than a personal attack.
The institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper for example.
The Church built upon the "Rock" Peter the 1st Pope... and of course the Church instituted by Christ was and is to this day populated by imperfect humans. Obviously some Church leaders past and present sinned, are sinning and fall short. Many may have even been damned, but every Sacrament is found in the Gospels.
Purgatory actually is from Old Testament books the Reformers removed from the Apostolic bible. The books of Maccabees from the Old Testament practiced praying for the dead. Most protestant denominations reject that practice but as a Catholic I believe Jesus was a religious Jew who read, taught and lived the Jewish scriptures. Believe it or not some of the 15th century Reformers actually removed the Book of James for a period of time because he intimated works were necessary for salvation...
The fractured and unfortunately still fracturing Protestant Churches were picking and choosing what they interpreted as truth and what was heresy... after all, they continually break from each other for some "theological" interpretation or reason .. that heretical activity appears quite similar in some way to the modern Anglicans accepting homosexuality in their priests...
The Catholic Church has practiced worship tradition based sacramental rituals from the very apostolic beginnings and are continuing these same rituals to the present time. The earliest new testament books didn't even exist until late in the first century... and early Christians practiced their faith based upon Christ instituted Apostolic worship... the first gospels weren't even written until after 60 AD.
I'm not trying to change any ones personal Christian beliefs, faith is personal for all of us. I defend my faith based upon my own deeply held beliefs; I'm just becoming very tired of self promoting "theologians" attacking my individual walk with Christ and the specific tenets of my Church.
Jesus taught me to "Judge not lest ye be judged."
